Lian Dao really felt stranger than I was, and said, "Chishui poured in for no reason, and there was a candle dragon floating in the sky. You also saw the female corpse in Chishui, why are you surprised at such a small thing?"
"Okay..." I also feel that I should really adapt to this world that has been completely subverted.
Lian Daozhen said: "Although one in and one out spans so far, the thing that is really worth noting is another point."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
Lian Daozhen said: "Near Ningyuan County, the only thing related to ancient myths is the Shun Temple on Jiuyi Mountain. Legend has it that Shun patrolled here at the age of a hundred years and died unexpectedly and was buried here. If this legend is true, Then the three jade bones we saw before may have the answer."
"You mean... Is that the remains of Shun?" I asked in surprise.
"Yes." Lian Daozhen said: "It is said that Shun passed away here, and the baby girl Ehuang followed and was buried in her body. We saw three jade bones in the stone room, exactly one male and two females."
I was silent, not daring to say that this might be a coincidence, after all, the skeleton was too weird for ordinary people to have.
Lian Daozhen continued to reason based on this, saying: "If that is Shun's skeleton, then the emperor mentioned on the stone tablet must be earlier than him, at least Yao or earlier."
"Yao shouldn't be possible. In the myth, he is a very kind emperor. Didn't he propose the meditation system." I said.
"There were so many so-called emperors in that era, and it is difficult to infer who it was. But since the skeleton is Shun, then throughout that period of history, there is only one thing worthy of praise." Lian Daozhen's face was solemn and said, "The Great Flood."
"Great flood?" These three words made me stunned, because they were so familiar. Not only are there records of ancient floods in Chinese myths, but also in almost all foreign myths and stories about this flood in the same period or a close time. It can be seen that there was indeed a flood disaster that spread all over the world in ancient times, rather than a pure myth.
"Yes, it is said that during the three emperors of Yao, Shun and Yu, disasters on the earth were endless floods. Yu can be listed as the emperor because he found a way to restrain the floods." Lian Daozhen said with a weird look: At the time, several generations of emperors and countless sages had no way. Gun even stole the treasure of the Emperor of Heaven. When he was about to succeed, he was killed by Zhu Rong of the Emperor of Heaven on Yushan. It is said that Gun’s body did not rot for three years and was cut by someone. Opening his stomach, Yu jumped out of it."
I was stunned. I can still understand if I haven't been corrupt for a few years, but Gun is Yu's father. It is reasonable to say that it is unlikely to have children... Could it be said that Gun is actually a woman
Lian Daozhen said with emotion: "Although Gun is stealing the emperor’s treasures, but he has done such a great job in controlling the flood, but he was sentenced to capital punishment. It is really sad. Qu Yuan once said angrily in the Chu Citian Questions that the turtles are dragging their titles and Guns. How can you listen to it? If you want to succeed, how can the emperor punish?"
I didn't understand classical Chinese, so I said, "Maybe the punishment for stealing was heavier at that time."
"I don't think so." Lian Daozhen shook his head and said: "You said before that Emperor Yao would not be the one recorded on the stone tablet, but I have read an ancient book called Han Feizi·Fore Chu Shu said on the upper right. Above. There is another way of saying the cause of Gun’s death. Yao wanted to preach the world to Shun, and Gun remonstrated: “Ominous! Who is passed on to the husband by the world?” Yao did not listen, and slammed Gun on Yushan. Outskirts."
I was shocked and said, "This is a fabrication, isn't it? Who is Han Feizi?"
Lian Daozhen explained: "Han Feizi, a man from the Warring States Period, authored books such as "Lonely Anger", "Five Beetles", "Internal and External Storage", "Said Lin" and "Said Difficulty". He was a rare representative of the Legalist school at that time. People are unlikely to talk nonsense, after all, Emperor Yao is respected because of renunciation."
I was silent for a while, and then said, "In that case, Emperor Yao dropped a great flood, and Gun wanted to heal him, so he was killed by him? From this point of view, it is indeed somewhat similar to what is recorded on the stone tablet..."
"Not so." Lian Daozhen shook his head again and said, "Emperor ordered Yu to control the waters and even make the emperor. If that is really Emperor Yao, where would this power come from after his abdication? I think the so-called emperor must be another person. Even All the emperors recorded in the ancient books are the same person. What we know is only the land gods, which has nothing to do with his emperor. It is possible that Emperor Yao killed Gun because of the order of the emperor. Otherwise, he would just admonish, not say anything. There is merit, but there is no demerit, and it will not be punishable by soldiers."
Lian Dao really inferred that it made me feel that the world was too complicated, but there was one thing I couldn't understand, so he asked: "Did you say that Gun was killed by Zhu Rong? But now, how come you say that Emperor Yao killed it?"
Lian Daozhen thought a little, and then he explained, "At first glance, there is a flaw, but when you think about it, this is another method of mutual argumentation. You should know that the so-called Zhu Rong is the god of fire, just like the common Like Gongshi, this is the name of the clan, not the name of the person."
I chuckled and said, "I really don't know about this."
Lian Daozhen shook his head and said, "If you have the opportunity, it is always good to read more books, but it is a pity that Taohuayuan is not a good place. Otherwise, there are many ancient books there, so you can read it carefully."
When I mentioned reading, I got a headache, and quickly said: "You should first talk about why two different statements can be argued against each other."
Lian Daozhen glanced at me and said, "You still don't understand? Zhu Rong is the name of a clan, not a person's name, and Emperor Yao, as everyone knows, is the emperor of Huo De..."
"I understand!" I slapped my thigh and said, "You mean that Zhu Rong at that time was Di Yao, and Di Yao was Zhu Rong! Therefore, the fire god Zhu Rong under the name of the Emperor of Heaven, Zhu Rong, was actually giving an order to Di Yao to kill Gun. Although the statement is different, the essence is the same!"
Lian Dao nodded and said, "Although I have seen these before, I have never thought about it so much. This time I watched the stele and connected the ancient books, and discovered that there were so many secrets hidden at that time. From this point of view, perhaps the monument was erected. That person is Yu."
I was even more surprised because I suddenly understood why I felt like I had overlooked something before.
That's right, it's the stele!
Among the second uncle's notes, the pages that I am most interested in record an incompletely unearthed stone stele. At that time, they excavated an ancient relic, but they did not expect to find strange bird bones and golden sand resembling soil.
By the way, the soil!
Could it be said that the soil recorded on the stele is actually the soil? This possibility is great!
In this way, the place where Lian Daozhen and I ran out may be the ancient site where Er Uncle discovered the strange bird Jinsha!
I told Lian Daozhen of my guess. After thinking about it, he agreed with my inference, saying: "There is indeed a very great possibility, and only places where such strange things are discovered will be so tightly protected."
"However, the time recorded in the second uncle's notes is so many years away from now. They don't seem to dig too much." I said suspiciously.
"You are wrong." Lian Daozhen shook his head and said, "Not only have they cleared out the stone tablets for more than ten years, they have almost dug into the stone chamber behind. This progress is already very fast. You know, the god bird and the soil It’s a product of myth. It’s not too slow for them to unearth such a god’s object, even if an area of one meter a year is cleared."
I immediately understood, and said: "In this case, Zhao Qiming's affairs will have a better explanation. The notes say that Zhao Qiming is very concerned about this monument, so it is very likely that he will come back secretly."
"No, he shouldn't be alone, but united with others." Lian Daozhen said: "With Zhao Qiming's ability, if he was really just an ordinary researcher at the time, he would definitely not have a chance to approach here. So, he wants to come. , I must have found someone who is also interested in this and possesses great power. Maybe... ”
Lian Dao was really meditative. I knew his shrewd head, what he thought of, so I didn't immediately ask. After a while, seeing his brows gradually stretched out, I asked curiously: "Maybe what you said?"
Lian Daozhen looked at me and said, "You should have seen detective stories. The inference method of that kind of story is usually based on assumptions. We assume that Zhao Qiming has really come back, and we have found one or some people to explore together, and They discovered the secret of the stone chamber by accident. They found the entrance from nowhere, not only the stone chamber, but also the entrance to the Taohuayuan. They first entered the stone chamber, took away the three skeleton skulls, and then spied on the body of the candle dragon." (End of this chapter)
